WSOF officials announced Wednesday that “Jag” will battle Alida Gray
over the inaugural 115-pound championship at WSOF
8, which takes place Jan. 18 at the Seminole Hard Rock Hotel
and Casino in Hollywood, Calif.

The event airs live on NBC Sports Network and will feature a
lightweight title showdown between unbeaten prospects Justin
Gaethje and Lewis
Gonzalez. The event will also showcase a delayed light
heavyweight conflict, as Mike Kyle faces
Anthony
Johnson in the co-main event.

Regarded as one of MMA’s top 115-pound talents, Aguilar has won
seven straight fights heading into her WSOF debut. The strawweight
ace competed for Bellator from 2010 to 2013 and most recently
fought in October, when she took a technical decision from Megumi
Fujii to send the Japanese veteran into retirement.

Gray, 36, began her pro fighting career this past June and has
already racked up four straight victories, earning three wins by
knockout and another by submission. The Texan last competed on Nov.
23, scoring a TKO win over Katie
Klimansky-Casimir in the Oklahoma-based Sugar Creek
Showdown.
